USD/JPY – Retreat from Resistance in Downtrend

January 11th, 2010 admin

This medium-term downtrend channel resides within a larger, long-term downtrend channel extending from the June 2007 high. Currently, a key bearish event to watch for would be a significant breakdown below the steep intra-channel uptrend support line.
